Ellie Gard '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ellie Gard, I am a 16-year-old Junior at Fairfield High School in Langdon KS. My life in volleyball began around six years ago playing on a rec team. I moved on through my middle school years working hard on improving my game and got to where I am now. Volleyball has gave me a good passion and meaning. 

I have a strong left-hand jump serve, playing a primary position as an opposite hitter and occasionally as a middle hitter. I use a three-step approach and get good height on the ball. I love being on a strong team, and I treat my team members as family. 

In my academic life, I am a hard-working student and part of the NSHSS. I am currently taking morning college classes in Hutchinson Kansas for Medical terminology, and CNA. I love working with other people and helping people at their most vulnerable times, this is my blessing. I am looking forward to go to Spain this upcoming July to play in the international tournament.
